They are working with the National Consortium for Justice Information and Statistics (SEARCH) on "My #1 Friend is a Cop", mainly to get underage users to friend the local PD so that predators will leave them alone (or at least parents will have an avenue to report predators messaging their kids, even if the activity isn't technically criminal). However, it has spread far beyond just this purpose to become a general reporting channel.<BR/><BR/>It's an interesting program, one I hope will catch on like wildfire even if PDs only do the ICAC aspect of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
